I was just going to get the driver upgrade at first, but then decided to go full magnum and these aluminum gimbals are insanely good looking. Here is a pic. Thanks Chris for recommending them!

I am a fan of the Magnum too. Keep us updated.

I like the HF-2 also but in my opinion they are not as good as the Magnum 325.

How is the treble on the Magnum 325 compared to the SR325i or SR325is?

They don't have that sharp treble for sure. I guess after the upgrade the only remaining element from the original 325 would just be the headband! (New drivers; new cups; new gimbal...) I became a fan after I got my first pair of Magnum325 with the V3.5 drivers. I now have another pair of black Magnum325 (V4) plus a pair of RS1 with the V4 drivers too. They still need time to settle down but already sounding good.

You should seek out a pair to have a listen (since you're much nearer to him than I am normal_smile%20.gif). It is worth a try. I think Rhydon is working on making his own complete headphones. I am looking forward to that.

Hi. Has anyone here heard the RS1i and PS500? Do they sound very similar?
